What’s in a Poke Bowl?

Are Poke Bowls Healthy?

One poke bowl has fewer calories than a single cheeseburger, is made from fresh ingredients, and is free of sodium and preservatives synonymous with many fast food chains. Made in the same amount of time, the poke bowl is low on gluten, fat, and calories. And for those who are looking to eat healthier in the year ahead, it’s the very best place to start.
